I get the complaints about Sims 4 being too easy but at the same time you don't need to indulge in those behaviors. Like money trees for example, I've never gotten one because it just seems like a less efficient cheat button. The full needs potion that just requires an apple that comes with the pack is another example, never touching it. Or the reward traits that slows need decay to a crawl etc.
At the same time this game pack in particular seems to have certain mechanics to make it more challenging for yourself, I'm thinking about curses like the haunted one (which would be perfect for my eccentric sim) and the ones that make spell casting results more erratic and have you draw more charge. That particular configuration of curses might be difficult to get but it'd make for a more interesting game too.
